The Earth Sports training camp is a 2 day block of riding comprising flat and intermediate parcour of around 130 km per day. There are three groups: Group 1 (29-30 kph) and an Group 2 (27-28 kph) Group 3 25-26 kph
Based in Wincanton close to the A303 and just 2 hours from London or an hour from Bristol the location provides easy access and a wide range of superb cycling routes. It’s a great chance to explore the roads used in the Tour of Wessex as well providing a useful training block. Earth Sports founder Nick Bourne will also be on hand to share knowledge about adventure racing and his challenge to Mark Beaumont’s Cairo to Cape Town record over a beer in the evening. Accommodation can be booked at the Travelodge where rides start each day or refer to the accommodation page for our recommended 5* Hotels and B&B’s.
